I was really excited to receive My Purple Toes. I don’t know about your kids, but my kids tend to get on this never-ending-merry-go-round of a couple of books, and it is hard to break the cycle. For weeks on end, we will read about Thomas or about Tremendous Tractors. Then one day, they will suddenly decide that book no longer holds their interest, and will pick a new one that we have to read for what feels like EVER.

When we received My Purple Toes, Sister immediately claimed it as her very own. She fell in love with the illustrations and had fun finding the hidden toes on various pages.

My Purple Toes is really a cute story that not only teaches children that it is okay to be different, but also encourages them to embrace their uniqueness.

Sister loved to walk around with the book tucked under her arm, and literally wanted to sleep with it!

Unfortunately, after having the book for only a few days, the binding came apart. Sister was just devastated when I took it away and told her she couldn’t read it anymore.

Fortunately, though, the book was replaced without incident by the publisher after I notified them, via Family Review Network, of the faulty binding.

They did ask me to send the faulty book back to the manufacturer, so that they could ensure that the faulty binding was an isolated case. So, I did.

When the new book came in, I showed it to Sister. She smiled and said, “Piple toes!” She immediately sat down and started looking at the book.

So far, we have not had any problems with the binding on the replacement book.
